Sweeney Todd--The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street

I love Tim Burton's movies. I like the strong contrast in his movie. He usually uses black and white to construct his scenes, like "Corpse Bride", "Edward Scissorhands", and "The Nightmare before Christmas". This movie is no exception. I haven't watched the musical version of "Sweeney Todd", but I knew it when I watched a movie called "Jersey Girl", in which the little girl wanted "Sweeney Todd" to be her musical homework. This movie let me enjoy the story and the music.

The main actorleading actor is Tim Burton's old partner, Johney Depp. He successfully acted Sweeney Todd, who is a barber losing his wife and daughter and wanting to revenge to the evil judge. The main actressleading actress is also Tim Burton's old partner, Helena Bonham Carter. But she is not so famous as Johney Depp. If you have watched some Tim Burton's movies, you can find her appearances, like the witch in "Big Fish", the mother in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". I think she is also a skillful actress. Totally this movie is a good movie, especilly its music! Though the movie is bloody and scary, it's strengh of story showed up wonderfully. I can feel the sorrow and regret of Sweeney Todd when he killed his crazy wife unintentionally. In the end of the movie, he was willing to be killed by Toby without any resistance and died with his beloved wife. I also feel lethal love of Mrs. Lovett. She loved Mr. Todd but finally was killed by him. Her dream was vanished at last...

I highly recommend this movie, if you won't be frightened by a lot of blood :)
